Must be John is wafting through the air today. I chose his Greatest Hits Vol 2 to accompany me on my walk this morning. I actually got to see him in person once at a very small fundraiser. He was such a poet.

As a Yank who listens to the BBC every day, I am really, really hopeful that the BBC will stand up and set an example for the cowards of the news here in the States to follow. It would be nice to see someone take a stand for press freedom.

A sample of my sparkly things. I also have a lot that I've found myself that are not quite so sparkly, but beautiful in their own way.

Sending wishes that you can get back to having a life of your own, to be able to do some of the things you've had to put off, and find peace in your heart. You've certainly earned it all!

Caregiving is the most under appreciated job in the world. Kudos to you! We have responsibility for hub's 90 and 92 year old divorced parents. So far they are doing "okay" with a lot of support, but the future doesn't look promising. One's body is giving out, the other's mind.

Thanks! Have tried to retire the past three New Years. Keep getting called back. Only a few days a month, but hoping to make the retirement stick this year! When the instructors are in such short supply, it's hard to say no to the students!

But as semi-retired, it's one of the two days I work this week. The long one.

Ditto. And I have to be up at 5 and on the road by 6, so staying up late isn't gonna be an option. Maybe I'll get a view while driving.

No lie! We were completely socked in where I live. Should be better tonight, but I need to be up at 5 and on the road at 6, so staying up late isn't going to be an option. Maybe I'll catch some on the road.

I sincerely hope that the BBC does not capitulate on this. The world needs to step up when our own news culture will not.
